Otel is sponsored by cloud providers, they want you to land data in their systems to be queried and visualized by their tools.
There is no incentive to provide a common access layer because that is where all the players in the telemetry market see their profits.
It is kind of wild, otel has these collection protocols but there's afaik not any enduring access protocols. It's all over the wire protocols, nothing is defined for reading an archive of traces. Otel avoids specifying any common APIs for the storage layers, seemingly.
